heaven gained an angel yesterday

and this world lost one of the SWEETEST people it's ever known.

my great aunt louise (who has been the closest thing to a grandma i've had for the last 20 years or so) passed away yesterday afternoon. we count it a blessing to have visited her last summer. she was FULL of joy and we will miss her greatly. but we are so thankful for the many years we had with her.

we grieve because we will miss her greatly. but we KNOW without a doubt she is in a better place...she is at the feet of her Jesus...and with her beloved Cecil. 

we are leaving the beach a day early and heading to celebrate her life on this earth.
